VERY NICE PHOTO, Sticks!!!!

The Bruce Lee was not my sculpt, just my paints...but who knows? Maybe someday I'll be that good!!

I'm going to smooth down the sculpt and clean it up with a brush and some alcohol.

That's a great shot stickman. Did you cut Ursus' hair, or just tuck it in?

 

[stickman]

Thanks guys.


TCM I just tucked his hair in.

Stickman - I like the blur of the gorilla in the background. It adds a certain something to these pictures. I'm partial to the very last one, that's his coolest stance.

 

[angelofmusic2112]

I have to stop making these custom-made gorilla heads. I currently have 3 heads now with no bodies and no gorilla clothes.

I’m on the hunt for some Sideshow gorillas. I know it's hard to part with these items, but if anyone is up for some trading, please send me a PM.

Too bad we couldn't convince SS or HT to sell uniform sets.

Too bad we couldn't convince SS or HT to sell uniform sets.

Now that would have been a cool idea!!

 

[stickman]

Thanks Angel, I agree, I like that one too. He carries a certain swagger.

 

[Ironman1188]

Now that would have been a cool idea!!

They don't care. The argument would be if full figures didn't sell well, why would accessory sets?
Strangely, I don't see any of the people who are able to "score" the SS free stuff, getting any POTA items, but I did see some that got Indy. Guess the apes sold better overall than someof the other lines that got all the hoopla!

I like the idea Ironman .. remember the old days when you could buy all of the Action Jackson adventure clothes like that? (I never had a GI Joe.)

 

[Ironman1188]

Yeah....
Those were the days. And those poor AJ figures never saw the ape traps I used to set for them.

Here is a picture of a potential Lou Costello even though they say that He passes for a John Goodman!

It reads as follows. Figure: NYPD Beat Cop (21st Century Toys)
Lookalike: John Goodman (Actor; Raising Arizona, The Big Lebowski, Fallen)
Probability: High. A figure so politically incorrect that its quantities were limited to 2000.

Here is the link! https://www.famousfigures.com/celebs/celeb9.html

Hi JJ! I just realized that you were looking for a Bud Abbott! You should still check out the lookalike link that I just posted. I would also post a close up pic of him here.

 

[jungle jom]

Thanks for the try, Kfog... I tried that website and it was of no help. I did find this figure which was as close as I could get.

I still don't think it is useable.

Here's another Mego scale chimp. I was attempting Cornelius...but since he doesn't look like him, he can be relegated to be another background chimp. I have about 8 more male chimp sculpts to go...and tons more gorillas and orangutans. I started him last night and finished him tonight.

 

[stickman]

I wish I could help you JJ.
Nice job as always Jessica.

The General made an unexpected inspection of Ironman's gorilla unit outside Ape City tonight!

This Gorilla, whose name shall remain anonymous was caught having a smoke while on watch. He even went as far as to say, "We haven't heard from Ironman in weeks."

 

[stickman]

Celebrating the hunt.

 

[creecher]

Good stuff Stickman. Those g'rilla's are smokin'. Yeah, I can tell what ya got cookin'.

 

[Ironman1188]

Kfog, yeah that 21st Century beat cop was supposed to be John Goodman, not Costello. That other Costello sculpt has the most potential thus far.

Jungle, that sculpt, while not 100% accurate to Bud could pass if outfitted properly and with a good repaint. I'd still wait for a real one.

Sticks, nice shots. I really like the smoke effect. However, nothing unexpected happens in my garrison.

 

[Jessica]

Sticks--that is soooo funny!!
